@jtownsucks46 Merchants is definitely the highest rate I’ve seen so far, but I have an account with them & it’s very difficult to maintain. It’s hard for me to transfer funds in, because my bank (BofA) charges a fee to transfer to an outside bank account. I realize that’s not the case for everyone, but just be aware of this. The info I got from Merchant’s a few months ago is as follows:

There are three ways that you can transfer to and from your account with us:

1.Wire transfer ( We will refund our wire fee in or out. You will just need to let me know that you are doing a wire so I can refund it)

2. ACH ( You would need to initiate it through the financial institution that you are moving the funds from or to)
3. Check. (You can mail a check to us and we will deposit it for you or you can write a check to move funds to you other financial institution)

I didn’t know there were any banks that charged for ACH transfers - that’s wild that BOA does that!!!

Doesn’t appear to be a coupon on the listing any longer.

Fingers crossed the police catch the scammer and recover the money. Let us know what ends up happening!

No, the bank does not have responsibility to wait for checks to clear to make the funds available to the customer. Regulation CC governs this, and banks are typically required to make funds available to the customer within 2 business days of the deposit. The bank is not responsible because the customer willingly sent the money and FDIC insurance does not come into play here nor does the bank’s insurance. Your son will likely have to pay the $3950 unless the police can catch the thief and recover the money which is highly unlikely. He should likely chalk this up to experience of not sending money through Zelle unless he’s absolutely certain of what he’s doing. Unfortunately, there are so many scams like this out there, but he likely will learn from this and never fall for another one so that’s one positive to focus on.

Table updated - thanks everyone!

Found out that downloading the app gives you another 1,000 points.

I signed up but only got 1,000 points which is a $5 reward. Still can get some $10 socks for $3 shipped.

Can I return or make a price adjustment on an item that earned Kohl’s Cash?
Yes, of course! We’ll just have to decrease the value of your Kohl’s Cash Coupon.

Did you already spend your Kohl’s Cash?
No problem! If you’ve already used your Kohl’s Cash, you’ll get a refund in the form of your original payment, minus the amount of the Kohl’s Cash Coupon you spent.

Are you returning merchandise that was purchased with Kohl’s Cash?
Again, no problem. We’ll return the value of the Kohl’s Cash Coupon to you as Return Kohl’s Cash, valid for 30 days from the date of your return.

https://www.kohls.com/feature/kohls-cash.jsp#0

The $10 KC was a reward for buying the original item. When you return the original item, they should reduce the refund price by $10 to account for the reward that you’re no longer entitled to. I’m not sure how this could be viewed as a scam…

New nationally available account added:

Bank Onward 0.65%

Table updated with recent rate changes for all accounts.

They sweep your money into partner banks so there is FDIC insurance but I always worry about the time while your money is in their possession but before it’s swept into the partner bank(s). Probably overkill worrying about that however. I’ve not used them but 3% sure is tempting.

It should work on Win 7. Here’s some more info that may be helpful:

Once Windows loads, try the following:

-Click Start, type CMD and run it as administrator
-Copy and paste the command below and hit enter.

Sfc /scannow

Wait until the pc finishes scanning and repairing any corrupted system files then proceed with the next command

Once done restart your pc

My referral code is P2K0416458503 if anyone is interested in using.

I’ve had a poor experience with opening accounts with this credit union. They asked me to send them my driver’s license via email and then asked me 5 security questions, also through email. Their security seems rather lacking.
